TILDA Research Study - August 2019
The report launched by TILDA shows that dog owners who walk their dog at least three times per week also report higher levels of active and social leisure activities and close social relationships than those who walk their dogs less frequently.
The authors highlight that the reason for having a pet is an important factor in explaining whether a dog owner benefits from better mental health and wellbeing.
